Assemblages of Mediterranean coastal detritic bottoms biocenosis with rhodolithes

These circalittoral assemblages occur on coarse sand or gravel affected by important seafloor currents. This habitat is known to be a hot-spot of biodiversity, hosting a high diverse invertebrate community. Moreover, it is one of the Mediterranean communities with the highest amount and production rates of carbonates, and it provides nursery grounds for commercial fish and shellfish species.
